I posted this as the Poop Of The Week today:

<BLOCKQUOTE>
I currently work in retail security. In the past four years, I've seen a lot of shit. Druggies, crazies, pissers, you name it.

Recently, I caught a girl stealing prom dresses. I grabbed her, and as I was walking her to our detention area, she kept asking to go to the bathroom.

Now, I'm all for going potty when you gotta, but we're required to do a weapon pat down before allotting any potty breaks, so eighty "I haffta go to the bathrooms" and two minutes later, we made it to the detention room.

Per procedure, I began my pat down. Upper body, then midsection. It was at this point I realized she needed to go to the bathroom -- she was absolutely rank. I dunno if the adreneline spared my sense of smell on the walk down, but by now the whole office reeked of shit.

So I took her to the bathroom, where she spent about 30 minutes cleaning herself up. I now get to say I scared the shit out of someone, which I kind of enjoy. Though two cans of Glade and two days later, our office was still rank.

My question: when frightened, humans tend to revert instinctually to fight or flight. But poop??? Is it a common theme for us to shit when scared? i always thought it was just a phrase.

What do we think? Any thoughts on being so scared your bowels just let go?

It must be a valid response......
How else would we have the phrase "That scared the shit out of me!!"??
Or, "I almost crapped my pants!!"

Yeah Dave, I think shitting your pants when scared is a real thing. It's never happened to me because I guess that I don't scare easily. I've seen it in other dudes, however. I remember at school when I was about 12 years old. I hung out with the bigger dudes and jock crowd. In these rural communities, there was no tolerance for anything a bit different. So any guy who was regarded as a sissy, a weakling or someone who sucked up to the teachers became a natural target for the jocks. There was one effeminate guy who also committed the offense of being the teacher's pet. So one day we lay in wait for him on one of those isolated roads he walked to get home. We surrounded him when he appeared and started pushing him around. Before we could really do much damage, there was this bad smell and when we looked closer we saw that this poor guy had shat himself. I guess we kind of lost any inclination to lay a hand on him after that so that it's possible that shitting yourself is a kind of protective thing and even part of fight or flight because it scares off adversaries. After that, the poor guy got the name "PoopyPants" and that lasted thoughout his high school days!

Never happened to me, but I can tell you where it always happens; animals. Scared dogs pee and sometimes shit. It's suposedly some kind of natural reaction to a shock, the temporary reflex diverts power from the sphincter, or perhaps just opens it somehow, and poo comes out. This kind of scare is called a reflex, which is defined as an action that never reaches the brain, it goes to the spine and back. So in a danger situation, your body shuts down unnecesary functions and uses the power to fight or flight. Digestion is stopped, bloodflow to the skin is reduced (anthropologists believe it's because if you get wounded, you won't bleed to death). All this and the bowels's energy is diverted somewhere else too I suppose. For your body to have to go all the way to your sphincter though, youd have to be really scared!

We don't need PhDs and MDs to tell us about things that everyone knows already. I've known several dudes that shat themselves at school because of some scare. Also, dudes always use the expression "Scared shitless." So it's been around a long time. For some folks, a scare or anxiety just causes diarrhea even though they don't shit themselves. It's a lesser form of the same response.

Yeah, sometimes when I have a really big test it feels like I've got the runs. It always settles down after I start writing the exam though (thank God)

by **ganja fairy** on Oct 10 2002 2:38 am

hey this is sort of kind of related:
did any of you ever think you shit yourself when you were tripping before? this happend to me a once. i got sort of paranoid, and i felt weird sensations like i was peeing and shitting at the same time. i wasnt actually, but the feeling and anxiety was there.

by **Disco Poo** on Oct 10 2002 2:40 am

Closest I've come to that is one time I smoked a lot of pot, ate 24 mini pizzas, and got the runs. I think that was a result of eating all those pizzas though...

by **ganja fairy** on Oct 10 2002 2:56 am

uhg. i feel your pain.
one time my boyfriend and i had the munchies and we went to subway and got a tuna sub. we got everything on it because we were really hungry and really poor. later that day, i was soo sick. i puked at my friends house and i had the runs all night. my boyfriend had a rumbly fart gut too. i eat really gross stuff when im high sometimes.

by **Disco Poo** on Oct 10 2002 1:11 pm

Ugh, a few weeks back when I had the munchies, I made a sandwich out of two huge pecan chocolate chip cookies, with whipped cream and blueberry pie filling in the middle. It tasted so good at the time, but yeah, ugh. My girlfriend was disgusted with me.

Mmmm.....pecans.

by **Emochirt** on Oct 10 2002 7:55 pm

by **Plunger** on Oct 11 2002 6:15 pm

Yeah, I like to get high too! I especially love to get stoned and watch a beautiful woman take a shit (In person, not video tape)!! Man, is that an awesome and unusual experience after smokin up. I know you guys can't stand watchin a pretty girl take a dump, but for some reason, the experience for me is quite enjoyable! :wink:

by **Trashcanman** on Oct 11 2002 6:27 pm

I don't think anyone has a problem with watchin a beautiful women sittin on the crapper, pants off, but taking a shit up close ain't pretty. And when they start eating it etc. it becomes horrific.

by **AssBlaster2000** on Oct 12 2002 9:26 am

I've never seen anyone eat shit except my dog. Is this a secret pastime of rich Florida women? Or is this why you're a virgin?

I can't imagine smoking pot, or being under the influence of anything, and watching someone take a shit. I'd laugh my ass off.
